I fought guerrilla warfare in the Yimeng Mountains during the Anti-Japanese War

On December 12, Chen Feng went to Dashibi Mountain to see off the last batch of support team members before the New Year, 17 people, who took away ten walkie-talkies and anti-personnel mines.

As soon as I returned to Mengshan, Li Yunyan appeared with a happy smile on her face.

"Why are you back? Have you finished your training?"

"Captain, I can fly the plane now and fly back by myself."

Seeing that Chen Feng's face was instantly filled with gloom, Li Yunyan didn't dare to joke anymore.

"Captain, I was lying to you. It was a two-seater plane. Sister Cai Ling accompanied me back."

"It's still nonsense. You've only studied for a few days and you dare to go solo? Where is Guo Cailing?"

"On the mountain, I'm coming down to pick you up personally. I'm not kidding. Everyone in our flight training team can fly solo. Although they can't carry out bombing and strike missions yet, they will be able to do so soon. Just practice the dives well and don't crash into the ground."

Is this so sloppy? This is flying a plane! Not learning to drive a car. Although the plane is relatively simple at this time, this is too fast!

Guo Cailing was chatting with Chen Guoqing and her eyes lit up when she saw the captain.

"Captain, I heard that you are very good at stir-frying rabbit and chicken. I wonder if I can have the chance to taste them?"

Chen Feng glanced at the big-mouthed Chen Guoqing and suddenly felt that the two of them looked like a couple.

"Feihu, go to the logistics department and see if there are any wild rabbits and pheasants. If there are no pheasants, domestic ones will do."

"Captain, there are plenty of wild rabbits. The second company of the third battalion went down the mountain for a training march and brought back seventy or eighty rabbits. We didn't catch any pheasants, but there is no shortage of domesticated ones."

Chen Feng silently counted the number of people. The seven from last night could not be missing. Together with Li Yunyan and Guo Cailing, a total of nine people had to be fed.

"There are six rabbits and six chickens. Please run and take them to the kitchen and ask Xiao Sun to chop them. I'll be there in a while."

Lu Feihu happily left the cave. With so many, he must have his share.

"Sister Cai Ling, was it really Yunyan who flew back?"

"What? You still don't believe it! You don't know, after you left Qingdao, these students went crazy, they were restless day and night, saying that this was a rare opportunity and they must learn it as quickly as possible. They only slept six hours a day. We teachers couldn't hold on any longer, so we had no choice but to divide the training into two groups."

Chen Feng looked at Li Yunyan speechlessly. Is it necessary to work so hard? Just like you have learned how to carry out the mission.

"How are the students of the New Fourth Division? Are they slacking off?"

"No, we fight harder than them. Commander Shen has announced that whoever succeeds will be rewarded with 200 dollars, and whoever shoots down the Japanese plane will be rewarded with 500 dollars. They are all crazy."

Chen Feng was silent for a moment. Although there were nearly two hundred planes at the two airports, it would not be enough even for an ace pilot to fly them. He originally wanted to establish an air force brigade to develop the air force. There was no need to fight the Japanese to the death, just grow it slowly. But now it seems that those pilots in training don't think so.

"You guys drink your tea first, I'll go fry the rabbit."

There was silence in the cave, and everyone could clearly feel that something was wrong with the captain.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

Chen Guoqing didn't understand, isn't it a good thing for pilots to learn quickly?

Guo Cailing shook her head. She really didn’t understand.

Li Yunyan had a look of disappointment on her face. The captain had just glanced at her and understood everything. Don't even think about flying into the sky. Even if you did, don't even think about fighting with the Japanese planes.

At dinner time, Chen Feng returned to normal. He thought it was normal for a pilot to want to fly a plane to the battlefield, but his own thinking was a little narrow-minded. An ace pilot could not be trained without actual combat.

"Sister Cai Ling, eat more. You are from Fujian, right? I forgot to ask you, can you eat spicy food?"

"Captain, it's edible. Living in Indochina, the humidity is too heavy. I'm used to eating chili peppers and drinking white wine regularly."

Seeing that everyone had relaxed, Guo Cailing no longer needed to be cautious. Chen Guoqing had been bragging about the captain's skills, and they were indeed extraordinary.

"Captain, I want to ask you, I saw you looked a little disappointed just now, is it because the pilots are about to be trained? Are you afraid that they will quickly die on the battlefield."

Chen Feng nodded, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

"Sister Cai Ling, you know that our air force only has about a hundred planes, and the number of pilots plus your eighteen instructors is less than a hundred. If a large-scale air battle really breaks out, how long do you think we can fight?"

"Three days. If the Japanese army sends out 300 sorties of aircraft to attack, we can only fight for three days at most. After three days, we will inevitably be wiped out."

The cave was silent, and it seemed that the rabbit and chicken fried by the captain had also lost their fragrance.

"Is there any other way? We can let pilots participate in the war, but try to avoid large-scale air combat."

Guo Cailing put down the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Chen Feng and asked seriously:

"Captain, first of all, let me make one thing clear. We are not afraid of death. Since we have chosen to return to our country to support the cause, we have already put life and death aside. The eight of us are not afraid of death. Since the ten ace pilots are here to make money, they should also have this awareness. There is no need to mention those flight trainees. They are all your subordinates. You know them well. Captain, are you worried that if we are wiped out, the Yimeng guerrillas' air force will be strangled, right?"

Chen Feng nodded:

"There will be no war by the end of this year, and there may not be any major war before the end of next year. What I want to say is that whether we have planes and ships will not be of much help to our guerrillas. I don't want you to suffer any losses, nor do I want to lose planes. The decisive battle will have to be at least one year later. Can you wait?"

Guo Cailing burst out laughing, raised the wine glass towards Chen Feng with pride, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Captain, to put it bluntly, you just feel sorry for us and the plane. Look how scared Yunyan is, her little face has turned pale."

"Let me put it this way! We are not afraid of death, but that doesn't mean we have to seek death. Since we have joined your team, we trust you without reservation and will follow your command in everything. We understand you and never fight a battle without confidence. Your strategic vision is unprecedented. Whether it is next year or the year after, we will be there when you need us most and will never have any other ideas."

Guo Cailing completely understood what Chen Feng meant. Since they had joined the Yimeng Guerrillas, they must obey their orders. How could they not be forced to take off?

"Sister Cai Ling, you're smart. Go back and communicate with them. Don't be in a hurry to join the war. Train the team well. Come, have a drink. When the time comes, I will create an opportunity for you and let you fly planes to bomb the Japanese island."

The atmosphere in the cave returned to normal. Except for Guo Cailing and Chen Feng who were still talking, everyone else was eager to eat the rabbit.

"Captain, do you know what conditions are needed to bomb the Japanese mainland? It's not your character to talk nonsense."

"According to reliable intelligence, the Japanese army is researching a bomber with a range of more than 2,800 kilometers. Once it enters China, it will be my cup of tea. If we take Weihaiwei and build an airport in Weihai, do you think it's possible, Sister Cailing? Of course, we're not going to bomb Tokyo, as long as it's the Japanese mainland."
